The following approaches have been used already:

- standard interrupts property (3-cell): was rejected because the chip doesn't
  actually generate the interrupts but just provides a programmable IRQ routing

- property "parent-interrupts" (1-cell): Rob suggested to use "interrupts" instead

I'd appreciate if you could come to an agreement with Rob, whatever the outcome
is is fine with me.
